Canadian Loonie Being Demolished


DaveM-0297


A Disaster for Canadians


The victim of ten years of atrocious economic management and deliberate obfuscation by supposed economists and petrostate illusionists, Canada is now in a deep hole.


Buying power of the Canadian loonie has been decimated in recent months, jobs are few and far between, manufacturers are fleeing.

The government is plagued by many consecutive years of deficits, all caused by a form of corporate welfare and a lack of vision.

Canada has been bereft of sound economic planning for the past ten years even as the government was headed by a supposed 'economist'.

Ten years of deficits and smaller revenues on the horizon leave the new government few alternatives.

Selling out resources to off shore corporations puts Canada at the mercy of foreign government policies.

Multiple disadvantageous trade agreements will scar Canada for generations to come.
